      Hello, I have a pi zero w and recently I wanted to install retropie (latest). And I did so via pc.

      The problem is that my micro-usb port doesn't work normally so I cannot insert
      keyboard/mouse/gamepad because they are not being powered, as a result, to be stuck in the setup screen.

      Now my question is: Can I setup Wifi and SSH without using terminal(on pi because my keyboard
      doesnt work)but by mounting sd card in my pc ?

      #1)Keyboard/controller/mouse work on windows7
      #2)I want ssh to download this: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Virtual-Gamepad
      OR this: https://github.com/RetroPie/RetroPie-Setup/wiki/Mobile-Gamepad

      Thank you

            @billis2020 if you have wifi you can use ssh Though you may have to enable it by modifying the boot config (I'm not actually sure where the viarable is that enables ssh)
